Total immigration (13 years.. 1884 AIS
To the student of history that table
is most important collection OF facts.
The progress of the world has been
nearly always made along the lines
where we find the most cosmopolitan
peoples, made up of the most hetero-
geneous race elements. OF course
this is always within certain well-de-
fined lines. There are races each
drop of whose blood is a source OF
fatal weakness when commingled with
that of higher types.
A few suggestions will illustrate
this line Of reasoning. The Greeks
were a mixed people. The main ele-
ments were: Pelasgians, Helenes,
Egyptians, Phnnicians and Phry-
gians. These were commingled with
many other peoples in smaller proper
tions. The people springins from
these conglomerate elements possessed
all the best traits of them all. There
was the literature derived from Cad
mus, the spirit OF enterprise,
material progress and colonization
derived from the PhGnicians.
Next in order come the Romans, a
people OF very conglomerate origin.
In the blood OF that great race was
commingled that Of the Etrurians,
Volscians, Latins, Greeks, Carthagen-
ians, Troians. Goths, Ganls and a
score OF other peoples. All the intel
lect, courage, skill, power OF all sorts
of all these elements were called into
action by the nation who subdued the
world. The Greeks were not better
sailors the soldiers who bled at Mara
thon or in the pass OF Thermopyle,
were not braver in action nor
more skillful in strategy than
those who fought at Capua or
Thrasamene. Alexander cannot
take rank before Caesar as captain,
nor can Demosthenes despse the elo-
guence of Cicero. Virgil's epic is found
side by side with Homer's, and Horace
wrote odes as fine as ever were penned
by Anacreon. As lawmakers, Spar
tans, Cretans, and even Athenians, all
take rank after the grave Senator'S OF
the city on the seven hills by the
Tiber.
France, in modern days, is cosmo-
politan, being composed of Gauls, Ro-
mans. Franks and Norsemen. Ger
mans are far from deriving their be-
ing from single strain-Teuton, Goth,
Vandal, and Dane, with a dozen other
peoples Of more or less remote rela-
tions of consanguinity, were instru-
mental in the production Of this
modern people, SO distinguished
for material progress, for physical
researches. for pure logical deductions,
for statesmen, orators, poets, philoso-
oh hers, soldiers, and in fact for great
achievements in all branches of
human effort.
The English are perhaps the result OF
more heterogeneous comminglings OF
blood than any people of modern
Europe. With the Briton, there came
the Cimri, the Gael, the Erse; and
ON these were engrafted the Roman,
the Saxon, the Dane, the Norman
and later on, as the English Language
contains words derived from all
the tongues ever spoken on
Garth, so her people have
ntermingled with nearly all the peo'
ples of the world.
But the table at the head CT this
article shows that our own are the
most cosmopolitan Of any people OF any
period in the history of the world. In
the veins Of the average American
llows the blood Of Shakespeare and
Mitch; of Bacon and Locke; OF the
Ulack Prince and the Duke Of Yelling

Civil Service Evasion.
BraiatraAta.

1t is interesting to know just how the
conduct of the present administration
in reference to the principle of civil
service reform is regarded by the most
active representatives Of the reform sys'
tenn. An opportunity Of learning this is
afforded by the publication Of a report
made by a committee Of the National
Civil Service Reform League appointed
a year ago to inquire into the manner
of enforcement and operation Of the
civil service law in the government off.
ces at Washington and elsewhere. The
committee finds that the greatest neglect
or evasion of the principle of reform is
to he found in the postofice and interior
departments particularly in'the Indian
bureau of the latter. Regarding the
conduct of the administration as q
whole in relation to civil service reform,
the report says much is still left to be
desired.
Devils Lake inter-ocean. (Devils Lake, Ramsey Co., Dakota [N.D.]) 1884-1905, 1887-04-16

farmers" is true, but has Mr.. Cleveland's
administration done anything for the
farmers Of Dakota? Mr.. Cleveland re-
tains a man in Office who has done more
to injure. the agricultural interests in
the new west than all the other enemies
Of agriculture combined more than
hail storm, cyclone or drouth all three
put together. No one doubts that Mr..
Cleveland is "of the people," He'd be
a curiosity if he wasn't. He may pos
sibly " believe ia the people," now that
he has determined Oh the hazardous
business of going for 4 second term I:
but it requires an awful stretch of con-
science or his part for him to say that
he islands by the people" while he
keeps such a man as Sparks in office.
Devils Lake inter-ocean. (Devils Lake, Ramsey Co., Dakota [N.D.]) 1884-1905, 1887-04-16

SPARKS has issued an order requiring
all attorneys practicing before the land
Offices to file a certificate, signed by the
judge Of the District or U. 8. court, that
they are of good moral character and
have good regulations and legal qualifi-
cations an attorney must file written
authority, signed by the claimant, TO.
his appearance in any case he may have
before the register or receiver. The
order also prohibits an attorney from
engaging in or procuring fraudulent en-
tries, concealing the name or interests
Of his clients; giving pernicious advice
or beng guilty of dishonest or unpro-
~fessional conduct. The inference is that
Sparks has no better opinion of the at
torneys than he has of the settlers, and
the question now is, Who will vouch for
Sparks?
Devils Lake inter-ocean. (Devils Lake, Ramsey Co., Dakota [N.D.]) 1884-1905, 1887-04-16

PROF. MAGEE, of the geologicalsurvey
gives it as his scientific belief that parts
of the Atlantic coast are in constant
danger of being visited with serious
earthquakes, owing to the d~isplacements
going on below the. earth's surface. He
says New York, Washington, Pittsburg,
Richmond, Wilmington, etc., are directly
over the path of these displacements.
The next generation may be able to dig
petriied people and ten-story buildings
and, mummied statesmen and things
from the hills which are to rise where
now course the turb,d susquehanna,
the whirllng Alleghaney and the placid
Potomac. 1t would be a terrible blow
to the present administration if Sparks
should get caught in a landslide.
